Pladsen

The Mendocino Coast's most popular Airbnb destination now has more than 600 five-star reviews!

The Garden at Road’s End, located just two miles from the beach at Pudding Creek in Fort Bragg is a garden lover’s paradise. Set on 8 acres in the middle of a carefully tended lush landscape, the gardens are surrounded by fields, forest, and redwood groves. As my guests, you’ll have the sense you’ve stepped into another world- one that offers peace, tranquility, and the opportunity to recharge and find your own place of inspiration.

You will be offered a private, self-contained architecturally designed studio adjacent to the main house. The 500 sq. ft. space features a comfy living area with a large sofa, table and chairs, a cozy window seat with views to the gardens, and photographs and original artwork by some of The Mendocino Coast's most renowned artists. The sleeping area includes TWO double beds, so the studio easily accommodates four, in one large, light-filled room. A queen-sized air mattress is also available for those of you wishing to add an extra person or two. The well-appointed kitchenette allows you to prepare simple meals with its refrigerator, countertop convection oven, toaster, microwave, coffee maker, tea kettle and blender. An array of breakfast foods, and coffee and teas are included with your accommodations. A dining table and 4 chairs allow you to eat comfortably, and a beautiful bathroom of modest proportions with a glass block shower, plus large area for hanging and storing clothes complete your accommodations. A very efficient Monitor heater will keep your room at the temperature you prefer.

A separate massage studio on the property offers massage and bodywork by prior appointment with an extremely talented local professional therapist, Paul, and he will help you to fully unwind and surrender into peace. Once you have a confirmed reservation you may message me for contact information for massage appointments.

The gardens have played host to many garden tours, fund-raising events, and more than a dozen couples have been married in the gardens over the past 17 years. Please note I no longer host weddings or events, however. I bring my talents as an architect, landscaper, lover of Spirit, and as an innkeeper for 13 years at a retreat center in Sonoma County into play here, where I have finally found a place to live out my passion, and share it with others.

I am fully licensed to operate a B&B, and the rates include an 11% hotel tax which I pay to the county, so staying with here helps support the local economy here on the Mendocino Coast.

The Garden at Road's End is just 5 minutes from downtown with its restaurants and shops, and from the famous Glass Beach, Skunk Train, and from miles of spectacular coastline with its many beaches and hiking trails. The property is a 20 minute drive along Highway One to the Victorian Village of Mendocino- a must see!

I look forward to playing unobtrusive host to those of you who feel inspired to visit and will do our best to make your stay a memorable one.

Kontakt med gæster

I make an attempt to greet every guest to orient them to the features of the studio and property, to answer questions, make restaurant suggestions. After this 5-10 minute interaction, that may be the last guests see of me, except perhaps at a distance working in some part of the garden. I am around to respond to texts, questions, issues, but am extremely discreet to give guests a sense of total privacy.

Andre ting, der er værd at bemærke

Massage services are offered on site in a separate massage studio by a very talented local masseur by prior appointment. Combine this with sauna, hot tub (and hammock) for your own personal spa experience.

We were two good friends having one night at this wonderful place. We completely agree with all the nice recommendations, and enjoyed it very much. A favorite among airbnb options! We agreed that it would have been even nicer for a romantic getaway than a girl-trip hangout. Especially because the internet was poor, and we were not able to stream a movie (netflix). Other than that, everything was PERFECT and totally well thought out. Breakfast (very nice) was placed at our convenience in the lovely kitchen, and even the towels were top-quality. We would definately recommend this!

Svar fra John:

Thank you for the kind words, and I am truly sorry that you had internet issues. This happens occasionally here, being somewhat rural and at the mercy of AT&T's aging phone lines. Netflix usually streams without issue. I aspire to make everyone's visit a wonderful and memorable experience and wish I had control over things that are beyond my control! Many thanks for your understanding.

This is a pristine sanctuary full of quiet sacred places for reflection or contemplation or just to feel the gratitude for nature and beauty. John doesn't skimp on linens (top quality), Decor (beautiful interior design, and lighting) or beauty everywhere your eyes can behold.
You will be blessed to have the opportunity to stay here. This is the best Airbnb has to offer and at a very reasonable rate.

What a wonderful experience. The Apartment was beautiful well appointed and the grounds are beautifully landscaped with many water treatments . Loved every minute,it was hard to leave even for meals. Looking forward to being there again. Thank you John what a wonderful host.

Johns place looked great in the pictures but they do not do it justice. It is simply amazing from the lovely internal ambiance to the Zen gardens with their hidden treasures and the Finnish sauna and hot tub under the stars. It all has to be experienced to be believed.John was helpful but discrete and we really felt as if we were the only people around the place once he had greeted us on arrival and told us some basics to enjoy the place. I would add that anybody has concerns about the driveway after reading one of the previous reviews there is absolutely no reason for concern. Any normal car will be fine if driven slowly - which ought to be the case anyway to avoid a dust storm on unpacked roads.

John's place is probably the most amazing AirBNB I've stayed at. The garden is world class. The room is laud out perfectly - waking up to the light filtering in is a joy. Has all the conveniences, and more (sauna, hot tub - nestled in a wooded garden). Incredible value!!

A former architectural designer, I came to my passion later in life when I left the big city career behind and moved to a mountaintop in the mid-'80's to run a retreat center that catered to groups who were seeking answers to some of life's bigger or more elusive questions. When I left the mountain in 1998 I moved to Fort Bragg with the idea of creating something on a small scale where I could offer guests an intimate and personal sense of the healing power of nature. I can't imagine anything I'd rather be doing than living a simple life in this most beautiful part of the world, and sharing it with others who are looking for a place to relax and unwind.
